Ladoos are a classic Indian dessert. They are usually small round balls made from flour, sugar and butter. I have fond memories of eating Ladoos during festivals and religious festivals. I also have fond memories of eating Girl Scout Cookies every spring growing up. My favorite cookies were Samoas. These Samoa Ladoos by Shivangi Rao are inspired by the flavors of Samoan biscuits, but are grain-free and packed with healthy fats, fiber and protein. These will make your next party much more fun and festive.
